The reason why I removed them is they are in the wrong units for me (US stuff), and I'm tired of making units conversions from US to international and back in flight, so I bit the bullet and bought new ones. I hate the idea of throwing away the old ones, so if they can help a fellow homebuilder, I will happily ship them away. The two instruments are perfectly serviceable and accurate, and have given 10 years of good service in ZS-WEC. Now, I must warn you, they are pretty old, and both cases have a slight problem: the ASI has one broken corner (screw hole), and on the altimeter, the protrusion (where the setting button is) has been partially filed out. Nothing that a bit of Epoxy and paint can't fix, but don't expect anything new and shiny. Anyway, the specifics are: Air speed indicator: reads "Indicator-Airspeed SAE SPEC. AS-391A MFGR. PART NO. 544 DATE OF MFGR. DEC. 1969 AEROMARINE INSTRUMENTS CO., INC BRONX, N.Y. 10451 RANGE: 40-180 M.P.H. CAA-TSO-C2A WT. 0.7 LBS" Markings: Outer scale in MPH, Inner scale in KTS White from 60 to 118; Green from 62 to 124; Yellow from 125 to 161; Red 162 (I used to put decals (sold by Aircraft Spruce) over the instrument window with my own color arcs, and in that case, the original color arcs don't show) Altimeter3-pointer , dial reads "CALIBRATED TO 20.000 FEET", settings in inches of mercury. No markings on case (label probably long gone, just a bit of unreadable, white painted stamp left), but rest assured this is an old fashioned sturdy one. They are yours for the taking, free of charge. Just send me something nice and aircraft-related in return.
